The Inheritance

V

It has been a good few months into fourth year. There hasn't really been anything eventful unless you count Weasley and granger. There still hasn't been any information on "Harry" yet and I think they are about to give up. I was just leaving my last class of the day, which happens to be potions, when suddenly I heard noise coming from the courtyard.

I just remembered what day it was and rushed to see what the commotion was about.

I looked up at the sky where someone had pointed. And then I spotted it. A carriage being pulled by magnificent unicorns.

How they got unicorns to fly them I would never know as you have to be pure of heart to to even be considered in their graces.

Then it dawned on me as I tried to figure out what was happening. It was October 30. The day the other schools would arrive.

This must be the lustrous Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. The carriage they came in was stunning. But quickly as they came something else caught my eye.

everyone started to point towards the water, I could see something just below the surface, getting closer and closer until the water broke around it. The Durumstrangs boat rose from the water, its sails unfurling as it came to the surface fully. I smiled as they have style and taste. While we at Hogwarts are behind. Which kind of annoyed me. Like how we can be so behind on fashion and everything. Eventually I have to look into that. I walked away as both schools started unloading and looked around.

I soon went down by the lake looking around to make sure no one was watching and from what I could see and what my other senses picked up no one was around or paying attention so I cast several charms on my clothes to stay dry as I went into the water.

Once under I let my siren take over and my gills appeared so I could breathe. I swam around under the lake staying away from the castle so no one could see me.

I swam around till I came across the mermaid village. I looked around and out of the corner of my eye I saw movement. I turned and was immediately met with three mermaids with tridents. One shoved one to my neck hissing asking me why I was trespassing. I then let out my calming siren song.

The mermaids were taken back.

"You're kin? A siren? My apologies, it's been so long since someone of our kin have been here. The last to visit hasn't been here since she was in school."

I nodded. "Aunt Cissa. She too is of siren blood. She told me to visit at some point." I spoke softly and they lit up with glee but then was serious once more

"Be careful kin. The wizards are using our domain as part of their tournament. This tournament of theirs is dangerous. We have watched too many of our kin get massacred in this tournament. We agreed for a price though that they could use our domain."

I nodded in understanding.

"I understand. This tournament is atrocious. I can't believe they thought it was a good idea to bring it back. I have a feeling I will be dragged into it somehow..." I sighed.

"They would dare!" One hissed.

"Unfortunately they would."

"We'll then make them pay for it if they do." The leader smiled darkly.

"Of course. I wouldn't do anything less." I smiled. "I must head back. I'll visit again soon."

I soon swam away and out of the lake. I headed back to the castle. But as soon as I entered I was stopped by granger and weasel.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

"Dumbledor wants to see you in his office." Granger spoke.

"And what pray tell does he want with me?" I asked cheekily.
